Lord Gardiner of Kimble: My Hon Friend the Parliamentary under Secretary of State (Rory Stewart) has today made the following statement.During Oral Questions to the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs on Thursday, 4 February (Hansard , col 1061) I said in answer to a question from my hon. Friend, the Member for North Cornwall (Scott Mann), Legal proceedings were brought and the decision was made by Truro Crown court, under the hon. Judge Carr, to instead impose an enforcement order.  I should of course have referred to an enforcement undertaking rather than an order and I wish to correct the Record by means of this Written Ministerial Statement.
